Terms of Service

OVERVIEW
Welcome to SideLights! The terms “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to SideLights. SideLights operates this store and website, including all associated information, content, features, tools, products, and services, to offer you, the customer, a personalized shopping experience (the “Services”). SideLights uses the Shopify platform, which allows us to provide you with the Services.
The terms and conditions below, as well as the policies referenced therein (the “Terms of Use” or “TOU”), describe your rights and responsibilities when using the Services.
Please read these Terms of Use carefully, as they contain important information about your legal rights, including disclaimers of warranties and limitations of liability.
By visiting, interacting with, or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy [LINK]. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not use or access our Services.

ARTICLE 1 - ACCESS AND ACCOUNT
By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, and you give us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use the Services on devices you own, purchase, or manage.
To use the Services, including accessing or browsing our online stores or purchasing any
of the products or services we offer, you may be asked to provide certain information, such as your email address, billing, payment, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that all information you provide in our stores is accurate, current, and complete, and that you have all necessary rights to provide such information.
You are solely responsible for the security of your account credentials and any activity associated with your account. You are not permitted to transfer, sell, assign, or license your account to another person.

ARTICLE 2 - OUR PRODUCTS
We have made every effort to accurately display our products and services in our online stores. Please note, however, that the colors or appearance of products may differ from what is displayed on your screen due to the type of device you use to access the store, as well as its settings and configuration.
We do not warrant that the appearance or quality of the products or services you purchased will meet your expectations or be identical to what is presented or rendered in our online stores.
All product descriptions are subject to change at any time, without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time and may limit the quantities of products we offer to any person, geographic region, or jurisdiction, on a case-by-case basis.

ARTICLE 3 - ORDERS
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase. SideLights reserves the right to accept or refuse your order, for any reason, at its discretion. Your order is not considered accepted until SideLights provides written confirmation. We must receive and process your payment before your order is validated. Please carefully review your order before submitting it, as SideLights may not be able to accept cancellation requests once the order is confirmed. In the event of refusal, modification, or cancellation of your order, we will attempt to contact you using the email address, billing address, and/or phone number provided at the time of order.
Your purchases are subject to return or exchange conditions in accordance with our Refund Policy [[LINK]].
You represent and warrant that your purchases are for personal or household use, and not for commercial resale or export.

ARTICLE 4 - PRICING AND BILLING
Prices, discounts, and promotions are subject to change without notice. The price charged for a product or service will be the price in effect at the time the order is placed and will be stated in your order confirmation email. Unless expressly stated otherwise, displayed prices do not include taxes, shipping fees, handling fees, customs duties, or import fees.
Prices displayed on our online stores may differ from those offered in our physical stores or on other third-party operated online platforms. We may, from time to time, offer promotions on our Services which may impact prices and are governed by separate terms and conditions from these Terms. In case of conflict between the terms of a promotion and these Terms, the promotion terms will prevail.
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, payment, and account information for all purchases made in our stores. You agree to promptly update your information, including your email address, credit card numbers, and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed.
You represent and warrant that: (i) your credit card information is accurate, correct, and complete, (ii) you are authorized to use this card for the purchase, (iii) the charges incurred will be honored by your card-issuing company, and (iv) you will pay the charges incurred at the posted prices, including shipping and handling fees, and all applicable taxes.

ARTICLE 5 - SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
We cannot be held responsible for delays in delivery or shipping. All delivery times provided are estimates and are not guaranteed. We disclaim all liability for delays caused by carriers, customs procedures, or any event beyond our control. As soon as the products are handed over to the carrier, ownership and risk of loss transfer to you.

ARTICLE 6 - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

ARTICLE 7 - OPTIONAL TOOLS
You may be required to use third-party customer tools as part of the Services, tools that we do not monitor and over which we have no control or ability to contribute.
You acknowledge and agree that we provide access to these tools "as is" and "as available," without any warranties, representations, or conditions of any kind, and without our endorsement. We disclaim all liability arising from or related to your use of optional third-party tools.
The use of optional tools offered on the site is entirely at your own risk and discretion. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are familiar with and agree to the terms applicable to these tools, as defined by the relevant third-party provider(s).
We may also, in the future, offer new features through the Services (including the provision of new tools and resources). These new features will be considered an integral part of the Services and will be subject to these Terms of Use.

ARTICLE 8 - THIRD-PARTY LINKS
The Services may contain materials and hyperlinks to websites provided or operated by third parties (including integrated third-party functionalities). We are not responsible for reviewing or evaluating the content or accuracy of third-party materials or websites you choose to access. If you decide to leave the Services to access these third-party materials or sites, you do so at your own risk.
We disclaim all liability for any harm or damages related to your access to third-party websites, or the purchase or use of products, services, resources, or content on such sites. We encourage you to carefully review the policies and practices of third parties and ensure you understand them before engaging in any transaction. Claims, complaints, concerns, or questions regarding third-party products and services should be directed directly to the relevant third party.

ARTICLE 9 - RELATIONSHIP WITH SHOPIFY
[NOTE TO MERCHANT: This section accurately describes the relationship between Shopify and your store and should not be deleted or modified.]
SideLights is powered by Shopify, which allows us to provide you with the Services. However, any sale or purchase made in our Store is directly with SideLights. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that Shopify is not responsible for any aspect of the sales between you and SideLights, including any damage, harm, or loss resulting from the products or services purchased. You hereby expressly release Shopify and its affiliates from all claims, damages, and liabilities arising from or related to your purchase and transaction with SideLights.

ARTICLE 10 - PRIVACY POLICY
All personal information we collect through the Services is subject to our Privacy Policy, available here [LINK], and certain personal information may also be subject to Shopify's Privacy Policy, available here. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read these privacy policies.
Since the Services are hosted by Shopify, Shopify collects and processes personal information regarding your access and use of the Services to provide and improve them. The information you submit to the Services will be transmitted and shared with Shopify, as well as with third parties who may be located in countries different from your place of residence, to provide you with the services. Please see our privacy policy [LINK] for more details on how we, Shopify, and our partners use your personal information.

ARTICLE 11 - FEEDBACK
If you submit, upload, post, email, or otherwise transmit ideas, suggestions, feedback, reviews, proposals, plans, or any other content (collectively, “Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide, sublicensable, and non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and display such Feedback for any purpose, including commercial purposes. We may, for example, use our rights under this license to operate, provide, evaluate, improve, and promote the Services and to fulfill our obligations and exercise our rights under the Terms of Use.
You also represent and warrant that: (i) you own or have all necessary rights to the Feedback; (ii) you have disclosed any compensation or incentives received in connection with submitting your Feedback; (iii) your Feedback complies with these Terms. We are not and will not be under any obligation (1) to maintain the confidentiality of your Feedback; (2) to pay compensation for your Feedback; (3) to respond to your Feedback.
We may, but have no obligation to, monitor, edit, or remove any Feedback that we determine in our sole discretion to be unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, pornographic, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or that violates any party’s intellectual property rights or these Terms of Service.
You agree that your Feedback will not infringe any third-party rights, including copyright, trademark, data protection, personality rights, or other personal or proprietary rights. You further agree that your Feedback will not contain any defamatory, unlawful, abusive, or obscene material, nor any computer viruses or malware that could affect the operation of the Services or any related website. You are prohibited from using a false email address, impersonating someone else, or misleading us, as well as third parties, as to the origin of the Feedback. You are solely responsible for your Feedback and its accuracy. We disclaim all responsibility and will not be liable for any Feedback posted by you or any third party.

ARTICLE 12 - ERRORS, INACCURACIES, AND OMISSIONS
The Services may occasionally contain information that includes typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, particularly regarding product descriptions, pricing, promotions, offers, shipping charges, transit times, or product availability.

We will notify you of any claim covered by this indemnity, provided that a failure to give prompt notice will not relieve you of your obligations except to the extent you are materially prejudiced thereby. We may assume the defense and settlement of any claim at your expense, including the choice of counsel, but will not settle any claim that involves non-monetary obligations on your part without your agreement (which you may not unreasonably withhold).
